My mother is a wonderful cook who always likes to prepare (and improve on!) dishes she has sampled at restaurants. That's what I did with these blintzes, and my family loves my fruity version even more than the original.

Ingredients
- BLINTZES:
- 9 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon salt

- FILLING:
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

- Whipped cream, optional
- Optional: Fresh raspberries or strawberries
Directions
- In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add flour, cornstarch and salt; stir until smooth. Stir in milk.
- Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet; pour 1/3 cup batter into the center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to evenly coat bottom. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Keep in a warm oven, covered with foil. Repeat with remaining batter.
